Dream Team. Most other kibbutz industrial ventures are considerably smaller. Kfar Ruppin, for example, has 20 workers-v. 450 at Sefen-and makes only one family of products, laboratory equipment for teaching physics. In addition, most factories are not fully mechanized: they require teams of laborers to spend long hours doing simple tasks by hand. To reduce the monotony, workers in a plastics plant at Kibbutz Ma'Agan Michael rotate jobs every two hours...
...peaceful than it has been for years, although the quiet could be deceptive. Ein Bokek, on the Dead Sea, is about to become "Israel's Riviera"; hundreds of visitors arrive every day, and three new hotels are being built to accommodate them. At the Jordan Valley kibbutz of Kfar Ruppin, which was hit by 1,000 artillery shells during the war of attrition that followed the Six-Day War, Ya'acov Noy, a 35-year kibbutz veteran, observes: "The Arab shepherds now come down to bathe in the Jordan, and our children play there.

Fearful that the Israeli patrols were the prelude to an invasion, and weary of repeated shellings, 20,000 Lebanese streamed north, away from the border, by donkey, car and truck.

A synagogue was blown up in Kfar Saba. In a Haifa market, a 17-year-old youth tugged at an odd-looking object embedded in a watermelon and triggered an explosion; police found several more booby-trapped melons near by. In all, terrorist action killed one and wounded 13. Against this background of violence, Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir called for adherence to the cease...
